1 This invention relates to ash'rece'ivers and f 'pertalns particularly to a receiverjadaptedi to be detachably secured to a. support;

V The primary object of the present inven 1 5 tion is to provide an ash receiver which is designed to be readily attached to or detached from any suitable support in the nature of a rounder polygonal shaped post. i a

The structure embodying the'present invention is particularly designed for attach may bev placed convenientlyat hand for use by one using the lamp.

vide areceiver of the above described character having means for mounting it upon a suitable post support which is of a form which will permit it tobe secured to posts of different sizes and will at the same time center the tray with respect to the post so that the tray will be held securely in position.

The invention will be best understood from a consideration of the following detailed description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing forming a part of the present invention with the understanding, however,-that the invention is not confined toany;

strict conformity with the showing of the drawing but may be "changed or modified'so long as such changes or modifications mark no 'material departure from the salient features of the-invention as expressed in the appended claim.

In the'drawingi 7 p m Figure 1 is a view in side elevationof'the ash receiver embodying the present invention. 7 r Figure 2 is a top plan view of the same. Figure 3 is a view in rear elevationl'of the receiver.

end in the downwardly diverging relatively" wide members l each of which in'turn tera minates ina relatively thick bodyv 5 of the same width. The outer face of each of'the bodies 5 has formed integral therewith the es projecting match box supporting flange 6 the? upper face of each of the flanges 6 carries an 7 upstanding boss or. body? which is designed to receive thereover one end of a match box to hold the same in upright partially opened co condition in the usual manner.

Associated with the portions 4 and 5 is Y 7.

clamp strap 8' which consists of a" strap "of material of suitable weight and width having the straight end portions 9 and the substantially semicircular portion 10 formedinter mediate the ends.- The end portions 9 of the [strap 8 are suitably V apertured to receive, 1 when placedagainstlthe outer'face of each, of the bodies 5, a securing bolt 11 to hold the strap in the proper position relative to the diverging portions 4 to clamp a post'body', a i

portion of which is shown and indicated by the numeral 12, therebetween.

From the foregoing description it will be readily seenthat when the tray carrier isse cured to a suitable support as, for example,

to the post ofa floor lamp,'the nut carrying 'endo'f each of the bolts and nuts-therefor will be hidden'beneath the extending portion 6 sq,

that the device will presenta neat appearance.
